Its so sad when I think about how I never saw myself traveling because I did not think it was possible for me. I remember freshman year was the first year I was introduced to IPDS via the DR trip. The first IPDS trip was Zambia and when I came back people always would ask me "how much was it." My advice to anybody that wants to partake in an IPDS trip, DO IT! Since Germany is my second trip, I cans safely say the only money you need to have UP FRONT is the money for the flight because they book it at the cheapest price they can find which can be any day. The rest is charged to your student account and you pay it like any other bill. IPDS is great if you want to be a cultured teacher, and if you want to bring something fresh and new to the classroom. Homesickness is a problem but you must live in the moment or those thoughts of back home will eat you alive. Be open minded because you will experience different cultures, different people and new experiences. People always say travel because you cant get your time and experiences back but you can earn your money back, and its true! Don't hold yourself back because of financial issues because there are scholarship and research that help with money issues and if already know you want to be apart of IPDS get a head start on saving money. I have no regrets and when I think about traveling I happy I got to go to Zambia and Germany to do what I love.
